1. A method for accessing a vehicle, the method comprising:
- determining a charge level of a battery of a first vehicle access device;
creating a permission scheme for a second vehicle access device based on the charge level of the battery of the first vehicle access device;
communicating by a controller the permission scheme to a vehicle controller;
accessing the vehicle with the second vehicle access device;
activating a battery level warning signal of the first vehicle access device based on whether the charge level is below a first threshold value;
activating a low power mode of the battery of the first vehicle access device based on whether the charge level is below a second threshold value; and
shutting down the first vehicle access device based on whether the charge level is below a third threshold value,wherein the second threshold value is less than the first threshold value, and the third threshold value is less than the second threshold value.

14. A method for accessing a vehicle, the method comprising:
-
determining a charge level of a battery of a first vehicle access device; activating by a vehicle controller a charging station associated with the vehicle based on whether the charge level of the battery of the first vehicle access device is below a first threshold value; charging the first vehicle access device at the charging station; accessing the vehicle with the first vehicle access device; deactivating the charging station with the vehicle controller; receiving, at the vehicle controller, information associated with a user of the first vehicle access device after deactivating the charging station; and determining whether the information associated with the user of the first vehicle access device matches a stored information. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 19)
